The Pink Pony Collins Is Our Official Pride Drink

The Pink Pony Collins

This is our official Pride drink, and we're mixing it all month. The build starts with Freeland Spirits Pink Gin — 14 botanicals including juniper, pink peppercorn, lemon balm, huckleberry, and white peony tea, distilled first in a traditional copper pot still and then through a vacuum still to preserve the delicate aromatics. Its blush color comes naturally from carmine. We brighten it with Yuzuco Lemon Yuice, then finish it tall with glitter simple syrup and Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit Soda.

Freeland is a women-founded Portland distillery. Every bottle supports the Xcelerate Women nonprofit, which funds the next generation of women entrepreneurs. The drink earns its name.

Both are made from 100% non-GMO corn from upstate New York farms, distilled in small batches and filtered through activated coconut charcoal for a clean, smooth finish.

Made with vodka, fresh cranberry, key lime, Valencia orange, and hibiscus, then finished with cherry blossom aromatics. Tart and juicy with a lightly floral edge. Comes in four-packs at 11.5% ABV — small enough to fit in a bag, strong enough to feel the occasion. Shop →

Suncliffe Arizona Gin Three distinct native juniper varieties, hand-foraged from Sedona's red-rock canyons and sun-dried under the Arizona sky. Rounded out with wild elderflower, ponderosa pine bark, and manzanita. The result is a gin that tastes like the high desert — resinous and herbal up front, with a floral lift that the pine bark keeps from going sweet. An inclusive, place-forward spirit worth seeking out. Shop →

Tom of Finland Organic Vodka Made in Finland from organic wheat, rye, and arctic water, this vodka honors Touko Laaksonen — the artist known as Tom of Finland, whose work over 50 years shaped gay visual culture and rippled outward into fashion, design, and political tolerance. The spirit itself is clean and grain-forward with a silky texture. The bottle is a conversation piece. Both earn their place on the shelf. Shop →

Bitter Queens Bitters Founded by two San Francisco bartenders, Bitter Queens draws on the flavors of Northern California — eucalyptus, Chinese five-spice, tiki spice, tobacco. Each expression takes on a character and persona. Our picks: the Marie Laveau Tobacco and the Eucalyptus, which makes a martini taste like a walk through Golden Gate Park. Cheekily named, seriously made. Shop →

18.21 Bitters Kristin Wingfield and Missy Koefod started making bitters at home during Atlanta's 2014 Snowpocalypse. Twelve years later, they're a shop staple. Standout flavors include Earl Grey, Japanese Chili & Lime, and the Havana & Hide — tobacco and leather, barrel-aged, built for an Old Fashioned that actually does something interesting. A long-running B&B favorite for good reason. Shop →
